Westgate Primary School is a happy, nurturing place to be, where everyone is committed to providing a high quality, rounded and inclusive education that enables all children to thrive and achieve.

We aim for everyone in our school:

• To show kindness, tolerance and respect to everyone around them, celebrating our differences and the things we have in common, and standing up against injustice;

• To develop the skills and qualities they need to become lifelong learners: enthusiasm, perseverance, resilience, independence and teamwork;

• To challenge themselves, learning with and from others;

• To ask questions and think for themselves;

• To be creative and find positive ways to fully express themselves;

• To behave responsibly and to make healthy choices;

• To look after the world around us, for ourselves and future generations;

• To develop a sense of belonging to Westgate and the wider community, so that they can make a difference to the world in which they live.

 All of Westgate’s policies and actions are designed to support these aims.
